How 1-ART?
Edgar Degas once said "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see". Art is emotion. 1-ART is a platform for artists and creators to enhance this emotion using technology, first with the artistic object itself.
1-ART is redefining the use of cutting-edge 3D printing for bronze statues with the following advantages:
- Identical look, feel, and quality to traditional high-quality bronze, containing over 80% bronze.
- Melds technology with craftmanship, with traditional bronze finishing and patina utilising techniques dating back to the 18th century having collaborated with a French expert in museum bronze restoration.
- Complex shapes, which otherwise would be very difficult / impossible to produce using traditional casting methods, Metatron is a perfect example of this
- Customizable, each artistic piece can be made unique with custom imprints
- Eco-Responsible, in-line with today’s values, produced in France

1-ART Transcending Art Experience
Where Traditional Bronze Art Meets Technology: Limited Edition 3D Printed Bronze, Embedded NFC Chip, Digital Authenticity & much more...
911 Emerging
Its inspiration was introduced in 1973, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 captivated with its "ducktail" spoiler and racing pedigree. Limited production and remarkable performance solidified its status as a coveted classic, embodying Porsche's blend of innovation, design, and speed.
P4 Emerging
Inspired by the Ferrari 330 P4 / 412P, launched in 1967, marked Ferrari's racing zenith with its legendary 1-2-3 finish at Daytona. A masterpiece of design and engineering, it symbolizes Ferrari's competitive spirit and innovative prowess, making it an enduring icon in motorsport history.
About 1-ART
Born from a 45-year friendship between Joseph and Matthew, 1-ART is more than just an art-tech startup revolutionizing how you personalize, buy, own and interact with art. It elevates the experience, enabling collectors and aficionados to own their unique digitally authentic artistic work, to make it personal, physically, engraving their name, digitally, uploading messages and media to a webpage unique to the artistic piece, which you can connect to by swiping your phone on it.
1-ART blends art, centuries-old craftsmanship with cutting-edge tech like 3D printed bronze, contactless chips, social media tools and soon blockchain, to forge a stronger bond between creator and audience, magnifying these creations while creating value for all.
1-ART embeds into the artistic object a digital experience designed to enhance the expression of the creator’s vision “what he makes others see”, and profoundly engages the owner thanks to the following additional features initiated by swiping it with your mobile, opening the Unique Creation Page (the “UCP”) on the device:
- Digital certificate of authenticity and provenance, as each art piece is paired with a unique encrypted contactless (NFC) chip, which is embedded into the piece during its print, making it impossible to replace/falsify (something impossible to do with traditional bronze casting).
- Transfer the art piece, in a few clicks, ensuring provenance.
- Deeply personalize the art piece, breathing into it special meaning. Making it unique to you, from choosing your serial number at purchase, to adding pictures, videos and a post, or making it unique for others using the “Gift” feature, making it a truly unique and thoughtful present.
- Engage your audience, share your vision and information on the art piece, and leverage today’s social media platforms thanks to the UCP and 1-ART’s content creation and attractive e-commerce experience with 3D visualization and augmented reality.
"Through our collaboration with the Dutch company Vibers we’ve been able to formulate the filament in such a way that it reduces its carbon footprint with a third compared to regular PLA. This filament comes on a cardboard spool made from recycled cardboard to further minimize the use of single use plastic."

1-ART Connecting Art
1-ART is redefining the use of cutting-edge 3D printing for bronze statues.
250 GTO Floating
Inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO, debuting in 1962 with only 36 made, stands as a pinnacle of racing and design. Dominating events like Le Mans, it embodies Ferrari's fusion of beauty and power, becoming a highly coveted classic.
Type D Floating
Inspired by the Jaguar Type D, introduced in 1954 and designed by Malcolm Sayer, it featured a pioneering monocoque construction and iconic shark-fin design. With only 87 units made, its 3.4-litre straight-six engine dominated Le Mans from 1955-1957. Esteemed for its technological innovations and racing pedigree, the Type D is a prized collector's item, symbolizing Jaguar's legacy in automotive excellence and design.

Metatron
Metatron by Bathsheba Grossman is inspired by mathematical and possibly mystical themes, Metatron, reflects the intricate order and beauty found in abstract mathematical concepts.
The Metatron is one of our most spectacular demonstrations of the extraordinary capabilities of 3D printing, allowing for the production of shapes and forms that would be difficult or impossible to create using traditional methods.

Bathsheba Grossman's work often explores the intersection of technology (like 3D printing) and mathematical beauty, creating sculptures that embody complex geometrical principles and shapes, such as polyhedra, fractals, and other structures found in nature and mathematics.
Merging the aesthetic, the mathematical, and possibly the mystical into a single, compelling piece.
Grossman's work encourages viewers to appreciate the deep connections between art and mathematics, with objects that invite viewers to appreciate the beauty of mathematics in a new light, revealing the underlying patterns and structures that govern both the natural world and human creativity.
